THE PRINCE AT HOME.
Something About the Daily Life of England's
Future King.

London Letter.
At Sandringham the Prince breakfasts with
his wife and daughters, but at Marlborough
House his habits are less regular, and often as
not his first meal consists Of a sardine toast
with a cup of Coffee or on occasion-tell it not
in Gath-a brandy and soda. This small and
early is partaken of in the arrest of costumes be-
fore the dressing-room fire, and during its
progress his Royal Hchness sorts and reads his
letters. Half the arrangements for the Col
inderies were made sanctioned in the cozy
little room looking out on the Mall between the
nibbles and sips of the Princes breakfast.
The next business-always an important item
with the Prince of Wales-is the choice of the
suit of clothes he means to wear, and the selec-
ton is to him a matter of much care 1t de-
ponds, OF course, on the programme of the day.
If his diary tells him that he has to open a hos
pital or attend a heavy" meeting of learned
professors, or run down to Windsor to see
mamma" as he still calls her Most Gracious
Majesty, the black frock-coat with the silk fac
ings, with a pair of quiet unmentionables to fol-
low, is the order given to his trusty valet.

morning room, where he is sure to find the Prin-
cess in the daintest of morning toilets hard at
work on ''crewels," with two of her daughters
making wonderful garments for the Sandring-
ham poor, while the third little maid is reading
aloud, either from the London Times or Morning
Post The papers and the crewel work are
both laid aside when the Prince enters,
and when his youngest daughter has brought

Sweet Potatoes as Stock Feed.

Chicago Herald.
By most Northern people the sweet potato is
eaten only sparincly, and, as it has to be bought
often at high price. 1t is regarded as rather
expensive luxury. But it is very easily grown,
and with equal and culture will outyeld
the common potato, especially on poor ground.
Its rampant vines choke down weeds. making
little culture necessary In some of the Southern
States the sweet potato is plan ted for stock feed
for pigs. which, when the crop is ripe, turned
in and do their own harvesting. The sweet they
contain is very fatuening, but it does not make
very solid pork. The vines of potatoes are
greedily eaten by cows, and have none of the
poisonous qualities of our common potato which
is of family containing many poisonous plants.

Are we all alike before science, which

to answer emphatically no. we are not.
We are separated by national aspira-
tons and by religious prejudices; our
student organization consists of the
broken parts of what was once a beauti-
tul, perfect vessel. Our con-
venticles serve only the cult of Bacchus,
and not infrequently the treatment of
things with which the ideal youth should
have nothing to do" The committee

CATARRH CURE

Senator Swenson has introduced in
to the Minnesota legislature bill for
the prevention of the employment of
young children in workshops and fac
tories. 1t Is similar in its provisions
to laws already in vogue in other states.
1t provides that no child under the age
of II years shall be employed in any
workshop, manufactory or mercantile
establishment, and any parent allow
ing such shall pay penalty of not
less than $50. No child under Is years
shall be SO employed, except during
the vacation of public schools and on
condition that the child had attended
school 20 weeks during the year. No
child shall be employed unless on pre-
sentatlOn Of certificate from the
teacher or superintendent to show such
attendance. Owners or superintend-
ents of the places referred to shall fur
nlsh certificate, giving the name and
age of each child employed under 16
years of age. The certificate, must
also include the attendance at school
of each child under the age of Is
years. Persons violating such acts
shall forfeit penalty of from $50 to
$50. The act also empowers trustees
to appoint suitable persons to inquire
into the condition of the children EN-,
ployed in such places in the months

GIRLS IN SERVICE IN HOL-
LAND
Amsterdam letter.

1t has been said that the young wo-
men of this country who follow the
culinary and scrubbing profession are
born as such, arriving fully equipped
with bucket of water and scrub brush,
and as Dutch servant girl only awak
ems from phlegmatic slumbering exis-
tence when inspired with the prospect
| OF something to scrub, there seems to
be foundation for the legend. The
dienst meisies of this city and the
| other cities of the Netherlands are
dressed in light calico gowns, white
| aprons, white neckerchiefs, white
hose and wooden shoes. Winter or
summer, rain or shine. the dress is the
same. The use of gloves, even in the
coolest weather, is not allowable, and
a present of pair of nice, warm NIT
tens on Santa Claus day was only ex-
cused because the giver was an Ameri-
can lady and not posted on servant
girl etiquet.
A Holland lady must be a house
| keeper, 1t being customary to give out
the provisions necessary for the fam
lily use daily to the cook and keep the
store-room under lock and key. The
servants receive for their own use
certain amount of coffee, tea, butter,
etc, per week, all stipulated IN the
service contract, and at dinner draw
their rations from the family table
like soldiers. To introduce the Ameri-
can method would create rebellion in
the kitchen in one day. The period
of service is never less than SIX months
and notification of two months
on the part Of the mistress or servant
is necessary for its termination.
Every servant girl is in the posses
sion of a sort of conduct book. in
which her behavior is noted semi
annually by the mistress, andis count
ersigned by the police when she
changes her employ. No servant girl
can find a place without this book,
and to hear of servants who have been
in family for twenty years or over is
| a common occurrence. The wages
paid TO cooks are from S24 to $50, and
| to second girls from SIC to SIS per
year In addition they are granted a
douceur at stated holidays. The re
qmsites of fooitjos received from
visitors, etc, are taken care Of by the
lady of the house and disbursed every
three months.
